"Today is my son and daughter's birthday," Anakin said, "and so in their honor we're going to--"

He looked expectantly at Ben, who blinked. "Um. Tunisia. You didn't tell me we were doing a theme thing."

Anakin made a face. "That's desert, isn't it? Sithspit. Into the portal anyway."

Late.

Detour: Listening or Puzzling

[sith_happened]

"Right, so we're in a place called Tatoutine because my grandson thinks he's hilarious," Anakin said.

Ben did look like he thought this was hilarious.

In Listening, you had to find the well-known Space Battles movie set Ksar Hadada and use a supplied walkie talkie and your sense of hearing to locate the radio's counterpart, hidden somewhere in the labyrinth of caves with the next clue. In Puzzling, you had to use nothing but a rudimentary map and compass to find Ksar Ouled Soltane, a hard-to-find location, and solve a simple Tunisian dice game to receive the next clue.

Roadblock: Camel Riding!

[sith_happened]

Riding a camel, you have to use a set of compass directions to reach the flag visible in the distance in the middle of the desert. Once you reached the route marker, you will find a new set of compass directions to the next Pit Stop, the Ksar Ghilane oasis.

Find Anakin & Ben

[sith_happened]

Would Anakin be bitching about sand when you got there? Yes. Regardless of when you get there, Anakin would be bitching about sand.

Sorry, my hair appointment took many more hours than I had planned on!

Alara Kitan

Re: Detour: Listening or Puzzling

[canlendanear]

Alara had actually never seen Space Battles so she was surprised she managed to find the location rather quickly and complete the assigned task.

Re: Roadblock: Camel Riding!

[canlendanear]

Alara was rather awkward riding the camel and so lost quite a bit of time as she followed the compass directions.

Nell Ingram

Re: Find Anakin & Ben

[canlendanear]

Alara got completely lost by the time she had to follow the second set of directions and by the time she finished, she noticed most people were already there.

Re: Detour: Listening or Puzzling

[mylandmyrules]

First Nell had to find the set for something she'd never heard of. Then she had to figure out how to use the walkie-talkie and then she had to play with it for a while because it was fascinating. And then, well, she finally finished the task.

Re: Roadblock: Camel Riding!

[mylandmyrules]

The camel was not a fan of Nell and her long skirts. Not really at all. Anakin was lucky she ended up at the right place alive.

Re: Find Anakin & Ben

[mylandmyrules]

She was here. Unhappy and ruffled and spit on by a camel and covered in sand, but here.
